More quotes by Samuel Beckett
Light black. From pole to pole.
Samuel Beckett
I don’t like animals. It’s a strange thing, I don’t like men and I don’t like animals. As for God, he is beginning to disgust me.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is a compromise effected between the individual and his environment, or between the individual and his own organic eccentricities, the guarantee of a dull inviolability, the lightning-conductor of his existence.
Samuel Beckett
I gave up before birth.
Samuel Beckett
They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
Samuel Beckett
We are all born crazy. Some remain that way.
Samuel Beckett
I use the words you taught me. If they don't mean anything any more, teach me others. Or let me be silent.
Samuel Beckett
What kind of country is this where a woman can't weep her heart out on the highways and byways without being tormented by retired bill-brokers!
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
To-morrow, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of to-day?
Samuel Beckett
Suffering is the main condition of the artistic experience.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
I can't go on. I'll go on.
Samuel Beckett
To every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
Samuel Beckett
Habit is the ballast that chains the dog to his vomit.
Samuel Beckett
My keepers, why keepers, I'm in no danger of stirring an inch, ah I see, it's to make me think I'm a prisoner, frantic with corporeality, rearing to get out and away.
Samuel Beckett
In my head there are several windows, that I do know, but perhaps it is always the same one, open variously on the parading universe.
Samuel Beckett
I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.
Samuel Beckett
Try again. Fail again. Try better.
Samuel Beckett
We should have thought of it when the world was young, in the nineties.
Samuel Beckett
